So, they just don’t want some 16 year old fucking like a beast and being better than they are (if the manage to get it up, that is).

And the old spinsters who don’t fuck are jealous of the teenage slappers who give ten blowjobs per day.

But I do think there is an element of self-hatred and demand to dominate other peoples’ lives here.

Especially from the moralistic bitches!

sorry for the anonymous post, different computer and forgot to set it up.

I appreciate your point, but from the stand point of actually lowering the rates of teenage pregnancy and disease, there is the ideal and realistic.

Ideally, all parents would have truly effective discussions with their kids about sex at the appropiate times to keep them informed and safe. Schools would not even address the issue and everything would work fine.

Realistically, any teacher that would tell your daughter about dildos or your son about homoerotic park visits are people that know that such discussion is over the line and will probably do so anyway, not needing school sex ed as an excuse. They can have curriculum that is covered and not deviated from, that sticks with facts and not preferences.

Realistically, you son or daughter is hearing the most explicit discussions imaginable from their friends. Thinking that you can possibly be the first person to address the subject with your child, or that you could arrange to do it at the most appropriate time in their development is just kidding yourself. Maybe you can pul it off, but you run the risk of not having your influences in their decision making when the time comes if you waited to long. And information from their friends is often inaccurate, or complete falsehoods because they are trying to get your child to do something sexual.

The point is that some parents won’t teach their kids about sex. Some genuinely don’t know themselves. Some won’t give their kids the facts. I think that just as every child deserves the opportunity to learn to read, every child deserves to learn the relevant facts about their own bodies and how to keep themselves safe from things that might harm it. And while I don’t like the existence of public schools, I think school is probably the perfect place for a teenager to learn about sex just as it’s the perfect place to learn about biology and algebra and literature. Parents should absolutely take the opportunity to instill values in their children about love, about family, and about morality. But even if some parent wants to raise their children with the belief that sex outside of marriage is wrong–and I believe they have the right to do that–that doesn’t mean that the child, once he gets old enough that his body is mature enough to have sex, doesn’t have every right to learn how sex works, what dangers it might pose, and how to protect himself from those dangers.

And what’s wrong with dildos?

Really now, let’s not go overboard.

When I was 12, I asked my mom how babies were made. She sat down next to me, and told me. Straight up. No frills, no moralising.

I said to her, “mom, I asked you a serious question. If you’re just going to be joke around, then never mind.”

Anyway, my parents taught me what I needed to know, and my friends and a bunch of awful young men taught me all the things that can be wrong in a sexual relationship, outside of disease and pregnancy. I knew how to protect myself in that respect, but in all the emotional aspects of self-preservation were things I learned the hard way.

I don’t think I could have learned any of this effectively in a classroom.

He said it would be effective if all kids started getting married at 14.

I believe in fighting the battles we can win. Getting teenagers in this society to totally abstain, to trust their health and lives to their teenage decision making and ability to stick to their abstinance is an excercise in futility.

We don’t stop them from electrocuting themselves by telling them they simply can’t use electricity. We teach them how to use it safely.

The fact is, many parents do not take the time to teach their kids these things. And you can stand back and say “I don’t want the school teaching my kids about sex, that’s my job” but it is a head in the sand approach. Your kid IS learning about sex at school. If not in the classrooms than in the halls and rest rooms and the back of the bus.

I would rather my daughter have access to a teacher that is allowed to give her a straight answer about sex than only have access to the football player in the back of the bus who is lying to her about how they can “Do It” without her getting pregnant.
